General Comments-Windows Vista

[ronald3333]

Gentlepeople:

I rent a computer in a clothing store in Hollywood,California,U.S.A. This has been going on for about 2 1/2 years. But,recently the best computer (and the 4 others) were overhauled....some kind of routine re-formatting due to too many people using "porno" sites (which infected the machines with viruses.)

My favorite machine had Windows XP. But,when re-formatted,that became Vista. I don't like the way the files are shown on Vista (vertical instead of horizontal) and also,Vista is way too slow.

Also,suddenly I could no longer use the NCH "Express Burn" software....I now have to burn discs using the inbuilt Windows "autoplay" feature. But I can't use the 3rd option,because this produces a silent disc (don't ask me about codecs and audio drivers,because I can't handle the higher tech stuff.) Not using Windows DVD Maker.

Only "Burn a DVD data disc using Windows Media Player" or burn a playable (video DVD)
by "Burning files to Windows".

Just thought you'd like my comments on Windows. A great PC system (I don't understand Mac at all but Bill Gates should have left well enough (XP) alone.

but Bill Gates should have left well enough (XP) alone.

Vista has earned itself a bad reputation

I was a big lover of XP until Windows 7 arrived (Loved 7 from the beta releases), i still support XP heavily but really wouldn't like to use XP as my main system again

There is also a dedicated Vista forum here - http://www.vistax64.com/
